Do I need to be "concerned" bout Big Pockets forum members?

I am new to RE discussions nad the BP community. I just noticed people here are VERY open to helping and giving advice/guidance.  For some reason... I feel these are red flags, but maybe am wrong. I come from the online digital marketing world and attitudes like this mean they are trying to solicit their services or products to you...

Though I am so new, and perhaps this is just the common BP community culture that people are being helpful. 

Should I be concerned about these users and are there any warning signs I should take note of or be weery of - thank you for your replies.

@Jessey Kwong , in my real life, not one person cares about real estate at all. 

But on BiggerPockets, everyone here is a real estate geek. I can talk about tenants, new landlord laws, AirBnB regulations, and the frustrations of finding a contractor with people who care, know about it, and can contribute to the conversation.

I love real estate. I love talking about real estate and nobody I know in real life wants to talk about it. (Except for all the lovely people I meet at the local meetups.)

While there are people here who are trying to build their business, there are also just tons of people who have finally "found their tribe." BiggerPockets is my tribe. (And I'm not just saying that because I work here. I work here because It's my tribe.)
